      <image:title>About - Some people think therapy is too expensive.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Yes, it does cost money. But when you think about it, it’s much more than an expense--it’s an investment. It’s an important investment in you, your family, your loved ones, your future. As you find more hope and heal old wounds and hurts, your outlook and your relationships will improve. And to be real, your financial future will likely improve, too. The long-term rewards outweigh the short-term investment in counseling, especially in light of what you’ll miss if you don’t get the help you are seeking.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Others think therapy takes too much time.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Therapy does take time, and that’s okay. You didn’t get where you are overnight, and quick fixes usually don’t exist. Plus, the change you’re looking for actually happens in the time between sessions. It takes effort to change your thinking, habits, relationships, your perspective on life. Our sessions serve as a catalyst to help you make these changes. As you enjoy being with yourself and others more, you will see the regular hour you spend with us is worth it--more than worth it.</image:caption>
